New Champ Faces a Court Battle-- Johnny Saxton, who won the world's welterweight title from Kid Gavilan in Philadelphia last night, gets a good luck kiss from his wife, Vivian, before entering court here today to face a possible jail term for traffic violations. Saxton, who has already paid $650 in fines, is threatened with a 15-day sentence for ignoring traffic summonses. A judge's verdict as favorable as those of last night's ring judges would more than satisfy the new champ.
